Doing it in broad daylight
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Physical attraction is an important factor in establishing a connection with someone new. First impressions can go a long way. As shallow as it may sound, human beings tend to make snap judgments about each other based on their appearance. This is especially true when you see a guy or girl in broad daylight. Those chance encounters we have on the dating scene don’t always happen at night. Just going about our daily routine, we have opportunities to meet other singles. Do you have more success meeting people on evenings and weekends than during the day?
There are perks to the daytime approach: You can check the ring finger easier. You can somewhat gauge whether the person is employed or not. You can get an accurate reading of what they actually look like since you are sober and aren’t in a poorly lit area (well, hopefully!) Basically, you increase the likelihood of potential compatibility, even if it is something small.
These are a few places where I have spotted potential dates or have been approached during the day:
The Gym - more specifically Yoga class. Listen, nobody was more surprised then me to see good looking guys taking Hot Yoga. Who knew the modern man was so comfortable meditating and sweating with strangers?
Grocery store. It may sound like a cliché but the supermarket absolutely offers men and women a chance to check each other out. You can learn a lot from the contents of a person’s grocery cart. Ladies, if you see any feminine hygiene products – smile and keep walking! Guys – if you spot protein shakes and/or muscle building products - well, be careful. I suggest Whole Foods or the Farmer’s market on a weekday after work or weekend mornings. It’s like a buffet (pun intended) of single people who probably eat healthy and know how to cook. What’s hotter than a guy or girl in an apron?
Walking. I love the area where I live because on the weekends, I usually don’t even bother getting in my car. I can walk to many places on my block that could possibly take me to well populated areas. My personal favorite is the holy grail of literate men: the bookstore, or ladies the hot spot for active and fit men: the basketball court.
Lunch spots. My favorite Thai food restaurant is guaranteed to have at least one great looking guy. It’s the strangest thing because I actually notice when I don’t see one! The servers at my favorite Irish pub are quite handsome too.
Elevators. When I met the hottie in my building, we were getting in the elevator. After I stopped drooling over him long enough, we became friends and he had a SLEW of eligible bachelor friends that I met later. You never know what can happen with the six degrees of separation in Atlanta!
Do you manage to meet single men or women as you go about your daily life?
How can you meet that special man or woman as they are walking down the street? What ways do you make yourself stand out with so little time to dazzle?
How can single people strike up a conversation without coming off as desperate?
Is there a difference in how you approach potential dates at night versus during the day?

I have managed to meet my share of single men during the day. I work in the city and let me just say Atlanta has some absolutely, positively fine men! Don’t really meet too many men during the day on the weekend. I think it’s a bit of a turn off for a guy when he see’s your little 4 year old cutting the fool in the grocery store….
In my experience, eye contact often gives the green light for the approach. I have a hard time NOT making the “DAYUM” face when I see an attractive man.
You all have a great day.
Runnin thx for recommending the JT CD it is so hot. Especially that Sexy Lady track 3….he’s a fool for that one.

Good morning all.
Do you manage to meet single men or women as you go about your daily life?
My friends rag on me about this all the time because I get approached everywhere. I’ve met two men on the way from my house to my mailbox, one had actually left a note inside (which was cute, but kinda scary too). They say it’s because I have an open face and I always look happy about something. Plus if it’s a dude that I’m attracted to, I stare a little longer than I’m supposed to and let him catch me and he will usually take the hint. But sometimes even when I have that “I wish a brutha WOULD say something to me right now…” look on my face, some still brave the approach.
I’m out more during the day, especially on the weekends, so I meet more dudes then. But nighttime is cool too. I got the meeting men part down, and I got the breakup with men part down. It’s that middle part that I can’t quite seem to master. LOL!!
Have a Great Thursday, y’all!!

Morning folks!
When I lived in Atlanta Whole Foods was definitely a spot to see and meet guys. Customers and employees, just a great spot all around.
As Lah Lah said downtown Atlanta is chock full of fine men. I used to enjoy the concert series on Broad street.
There area where I live now isn’t as ‘diverse’ as Atlanta, but there’s a few youngins that I flirt with whenever I go to my neighborhood Best Buy which is at least once a month.
The last time I met a man in daylight was during tailgating.

Morning All!! I usually meet men at night. That’s probably b/c I’m usually closed up in my office all day, and don’t get out except for lunch or court during the day. Plus, I tend to be dressed in more casual and funky (read: trendy) clothes at night. I’m all suited up during the day, and there are as many criminals at the courthouse as there are child support dodgers, and domestic violence victims/perps…so I’m usually not looking when I’m there.
I have also met a lot of potentials at the gym. Seems an odd place to me, b/c no one looks cute in the gym, if you are actually working out. But like my trainer said last night, there is just something about a sweaty man!!

I do meet single men when out at the grocery store, or picking up lunch. I always make eye contact, I smile and be sure to speak; say hello how are you today, or if they look frustrated I may Hi! is your day going as planned. This just sounds cordial and friendly nothing expected just being nice to the guy. I have become an expert at checking the far left ring finger at a glance. This sounds so Geisha, but there’s a particular way that I smile, and I don’t actually roll my eyes, and it’s not really a blink either, I can’t explain it. I really find that guys are on such a prowl at night that I don’t have to approach them at all. Day and night I try to make sure that my energy (attitude) is good, guys so detect the bad energy or nasty attitude.

Good Morning.
As you all know I am no longer in the profession of meeting guys, LOL, but I have a friend who I have formed a very tight friendship with these past couple of years who has no problems meeting guys day or night. Some days she just stuns me with her approach to men. This is the one that I told you all about I guess about a month ago that took the guy that was changing his tire some bottled water.
One day we were going to Phipps and at a stop light there was this man, Law-dy that man was fine, standing at the bus stop. He was standing there in his suit kinda posed wide legged with his arms folded in front of him. When we stopped at the light she rolled down the window and said I would give you a ride but this isn’t my car and I know we would be all over each other before we got to the next light and my friend over here may not appreciate that. That’s when I drove off. I could see him in my rear view mirror standing there on the curb beckoning for us to come back.
One other time that stands out is when I was picking up a shirt for my oldest son at Macy’s and this guy was looking at some underwear with I guess his wife or girlfriend standing right there. My friend walks up to the guy hands him a box of underwear and says these would reeeeally look nice on you. He was blushing so hard he could barely say thanks, but the woman, who ever she was, was looking like bi—- I will cut you. LOL
Watching her proves that if you have a fun personality you can meet anybody anywhere. Man, if I had met her pre-Mase we could have had a lot of “singles” fun together.
BTW she is presently seeing the tire changing guy. She is in fact bringing him to dinner at my house tomorrow night.
I think one thing about meeting some one during the day, you are usually more bright eyed and energetic. Saturday morning grocery stores, department stores, electronic stores are all good day time places.

I like going to the Football games, other than getting emotional about the game when I finally get up to buy a snack the men are all downstairs looking good and smelling good. Another place I like to frequent on a warm summer day is the recreational park, when my little brother was in little league, man those where the good old days. I love going to pick him up from practice.

Goodmorning Great topic! Ok, most of the places u mentioned.. I can see how it could work. Dont know about the yoga class though, cause i would just think he’s much on the feminine side?? Ive yet to see a hot guy at the grocery store.. so, that one is out! Lunch spots is defeneitly a go go, as i’ve seen fine men eating lunch.. And Elevator is just too hot and a yes yes in my case, cause i have met somebody once. Even that though, the chances are rare.
I think it depends on the single person’s attractiveness to wheather, he/she looks or comes off desperate or not. Sad but true.

Morning folk. I need to speak to a budget specialist about how to save vacation time for the end of the year. I haven’t taken a real vacation this year but I don’t have any time left, I might need counseling.
I’m a night owl during the summer because I can’t stand heat and humidity. I tend to leave the confines of my home and put the Xbox controller down as soon as Fall starts to come in. I like daylight connections, I want to see a woman in her natural, daily vibe. Anyone can get dolled up, tape things up, push things up, hold it together for a night out on the town…lol. Plus my weakness is a woman who can look good in sweats, a baseball cap, a ponytail and some white kicks. You look good in that and your boy will holla at you.
Lunch time gatherings are good come-ups this time of the year. I have friends who work all over the city so we can meet in Buckhead and sit on the patio somewhere and stalk (I mean holla) or hit up a mall. But those 2 1/2 hour lunches might get me a pink slip.
Lah I tried to tell ya. Track # 3,4,6,7 & 10 are the hotness. Don’t sleep on that Bobby V. either, that cd might cause some sperm and eggs to link up for the 9 month courtship…LOL.
Just ignore me the rest of the day, sleep deprivation.

ok, reading this entry, one would think I am boy crazy, LOL.. But I am not as bad as it seems…i definitely take notice of the “head turners” and if I am in the right mood (stars are aligned, having a thin day, good hair day, or whatever else girly thing), then I may try to put down my day time mack.
Raqi, now your friend sounds like a hoot! I bet she has men blushing all over. I was at lunch yesterday with friends and our server was SO adorable, I just said, dude you are SO cute. I wasn’t trying to ask him out, but having eye candy around sure can brighten up a girl’s day!

‘Morning Blog Family!!
I seem to meet men everywhere, gas station, grocery store, you name it. And just when I think I’m looking the messiest (lol), here comes some brotha calling me “Sexy”, and I’ll even laugh at him/with him (especially if he’s eyecandy) and say, now I know I look a mess! No matter where or when, I’m usually smiling and freely chatting, so I’m pretty much approachable at any given time (even though 99% of the time I have no intention of letting it go further). Geuss I haven’t come across one who REALLY sparks my interest, YET!!!

Good Morning Blog,
Lurkesville today, but daytime is the best time to meet someone. You get a clear look at the person, and its more casual and feels a little more genuine. When your out at night, you appear to be “on the hunt” even when your just making conversation. Whether it is day or night you may be thinkin what you do to her if it works out, but at night its more apparent.

Any females on here ever try what that girl did in that TV commercial, when she pulled up to the drive tru to pick up her dry cleaning and spotted a dude she liked in the rear view mirror, so she handed the clerk some extra $$$ to pay for two of his shirts? I thought that was classic…hint,hint!
As far as meeting random broads on the regular, happens every day!
Most of them have that “I know you are gonna try to hit on me look” but ya boy just smiles, speaks and keeps it movin!
I will on occassion open a few doors, if I see a lady coming in that direction, but for the most part, unless she is extremely fine, I keep it short and sweet and cordial. Females are so used to dudes running up on them all the time, that it surprises them when a dude just gives them a nice gesture and keeps it movin. Gotta always be different from the masses!
I figure if it is meant to be, I will see that person again and the foundation will already be laid! You know Atlanta is a small circle and when you see that person that second time, there will be more interest.

When do I meet guys I think it is when I least expect it ….and it is usually in the daytime …but when I used to be out at night I did get approached more often than not.
Update I received 3 missed calls on my cell from dude last night …got some voicemail …just don’t want to hear it right now
I think I am beginning to lose feelings for him …negative seems to be outweighing the positive…
Oh well

From a dudes standpoint, if you don’t know him and you pay for his lunch, or put $5 on a couple of his shirts of his, at the dry cleaners or send him a drink at the social spot, I guaran damn tee ya that that cat is going to be Intrigued to the point where he will definitely holla and add you to his mental rolodex. Your stock is automatically like Walmart and you definitely stand out above any other chick within a 50-100 foot radius!

Man, you know what, I just thought about this chick I took out on a date a year ago and I was so impressed with her, when we pulled up in this parking garage and she offered out the blue a 10 spot to the attendant.
I had a look on my face,like a deer caught in the headlights and told her that I had it, but then when I got inside of the social spot, out the blue, she came from nowhere, with a Vodka and OJ. It was one of my favorite drinks, how did she know!
I tell ya how she knew, she listened very well! I had mentioned it earlier in the evening. There was no love connect between us, but we are still hella cool to this day!

I don’t think so Musing. If he called 3 times he probably wanted to apologize or explain his actions. I, personally, just can’t see giving him the boot over something so minor if they are “2 years” close. She is being a bit hasty on her move IMO.

oh Chink, bless your heart. You remind me of myself, though. Lord knows I am a bit of a control freak, so anytime a guy can impact my emotions, I get on edge because I don’t necessarily enjoy the uneasy feelings. I try not to act in hysteria. The truth is, its not a man’s job to make you feel reassured all the time, and its not our job as women to do it for them either. Nobody wants to set up that kind of dynamic in insecurity. Your actions and the way you communicate should pretty much let you know how things stand, it’s just that a bunch of stuff get lost in transition with TOTAL misreads. Eh..it sucks. Sorry to hear you guys are on the outs though.

Okay, I’ll bite. Me and some buddies were just discussing this topic over the weekend. I have a buddy who rarely goes to clubs, bars, evening socials, etc. He said his luck with women is best during the day. His popular spots include the grocery, Wal-Mart, Target, repair shops, and the mall on gameday. He opened my eyes to something I never thought about.
When I go to the store I have a limited focus. Get what you need quickly, and get out quickly as possible. I hate to shop. I figure everyone is just there for that specific purpose. Yeah, I notice cuties in the store, but what am I supposed to say? “Wow, looks like we have a good dinner planned. Any chance for us sharing recipes? LOL!
I really don’t do a good job of paying attention to women during the day. I notice, they may speak, but the thought never crosses to holla. I just keep it moving.

I confess, I like going to the gym to watch men, yeah I work out, but the guys are a treat, and my power walks always offer some fine tennis shoe and short wearing guy with NO shirt, who is dark and sweating, niceee, real nice.

Raqi, nah, guys are just physically or metabolically built to be uh, ‘morning people’ if ya know what I mean. I’ve read that the more sex you have, the more sexual interest you’ll attract in general, for males and females alike.
I notice women in the gym, but I’m a lot more focused on getting through my workout and getting the heck out of there. I really try to avoid looking at them, I figure a lot of them are self-concious about being ogled by men. I know some women that won’t go to co-rec gyms because of that. I notice when women check me out in the gym, but I never act on it. I’m busy! Go do some squats, baby!

I was standing there talking to mom and when my father left the room she straight out comes with ‘You better keep that man out of your bed’ and I’m like ‘What? What are you talking about?’ LOL Lyiiiiiing. She adds ‘I can see it and smell it all over you.’ Busted!! Now, I know that she didn’t smell nobody on ME, she was just trying to make me feel like crap. Which she succeeded in doing. Ain’t got no business knowlingly laying with a married man. HaHa

I actually haven’t spotted Mr.Wonderful out on the scene in the last few weeks to do the random guy move, and I have a couple of guys in my trusty black (ok it’s pink) book that I will call to meet up to play pool, I treat a few games. Then at the Thrashers opening night last week, my date scored the tix, I paid for beverages at the game, and tipped the table when we ate afterwards - he didn’t want me to pay - so we compromised.
I come out of my pocket in good faith though, I enjoy doing it, not to invest in some booty or as a form of foreplay.

Chink, girl I wanna cyber thump you. You read like a seriously self-absorbed woman, and I know this because I battle that whole title too. I am going to post this loooonng (REALLY long) piece written by these two writers, a female (Sharon Gray) and a male (Anthony Rivers). It’s a tad flowery, and all but I certainly got the message! Just marinate on it for me, please..that’s all I ask!
Dearest Handsome,
Is it all a farce?
A devilish ploy, designed and passed down through a wicked fraternal tradition, to make an innocent succumb to the perils of premarital sex and other various faux relationship woos.
Am I your toy?
Your ultimate conquest?
Make her whimper-fall prey to the big bad wolf? Am I this said prey that has been once hunted in pure play in hunt of a quick thrill?
Is this deviant and ill-composed ‘chase’ really worth future heartache of another?
Are you playing me?
What is it you desire?
My sex?
My squeals from intimacy induced dances?
I plead in lack of angst or even in seek of anything else beyond pure curiosity derived from my deep skepticism, grave fear and horrific past heartbreak. What is it that you want from me?
Woman to man—
Straight with no chaser
I present to you in all of my nakedness. My truth.
Will you let me be…let me free…leave me…
If it is so—that your intentions are tainted for other desires than love.
If you seek a lover—solely and purposefully please let it be known and save me another grudgingly heartache at the expense of my dignity.
Let me be.
If you seek a buzz—a quick sexual jolt, an exchange of temporary ecstasy—be loud with your tongue and speak your rendition of the truth. I will listen.
Do you not aspire all of my essence in which enthralls one and weaves a collage of passions and whimsical tales of wanderlust?
You see…and I whisper this from within so mark my honesty with my life and the life of my unborn.
I like divinely, adore intensely and love immensely.
That’s my hand of truth—in all is bare so I plead in earnest repertoire,
For you to reveal your earthy intentions with me. My affair. My adulation. My love
Confess now, let it generously, and mercifully unfold…
Is it, indeed all a farce, as it was softly, from above, undoubtedly told?
To me. About you.
What is it that you seek?
Dearest Beautiful…
I feel as though you mistake me for another. For I seek what most men and some women for that matter, take for granted. In my experience(s), I’ve come across women who fear what feels right. They run from good intentions and efforts that say, I do, I will, for always, forever…
I could never imagine nor fathom the idea of placing my heart on the line only to present to you a false image of the future. That to me is a waste of time that would only serve the purpose of leaving us both exhausted. Sure, unforeseeable things happen between two people but it’s always been my belief that once a man is blessed with commitment from a woman, that’s when the real fun begins…
A toy or a quick thrill?
…I feel as though you mistake me for another. For I seek what most men and some women for that matter, take for granted. In my experience(s), I’ve come across women who fear what feels right.

Dearest beautiful, as I said, you mistake me for another. I see and even know many who play such games to fulfill what you accuse me of. At times because of disappointments in my own relationships, I too have considered going that route. To become a man interested only in quick thrills, mindless pursuits and efforts where pay dirt is another notch on my manhood. Crazy thing though; I once discovered what I’d always believed in my heart to be true and you know what that is? In a committed relationship, love gets better; it has purpose and the sex? Very hot! Within the realms of commitment, a man is blessed with the opportunity to learn all of your pleasure zones from head to toe; physically and mentally… I crave that sort of committed exploration.
Man to woman- I present to you my own nakedness and truth for everyday I fight the very same skepticism that you carry so close to your heart. This feeling which causes you to doubt and question a man before he can even utter words like “how are you today?” It hurts my heart to have that which I refer to as the most beautiful blessing on earth (Woman) convict me without so much as having the courage to investigate my heart on a personal level.
That question you place before me; “what is it you want from me?”
I sigh whenever I hear it. My adult life flashes before my eyes because it conjures up the disappointments that I too have suffered under the guise of love. I don’t fear trying again but I do fear that after you’ve witnessed the ease in which I’m willing to share my heart and soul, you will then take it for granted or run because it’s not what you’ve become accustomed to when dealing with a man.
What is it that I seek?
A chance without early conviction… Run from me if I treat you wrong or curse me out but if I show to you sincerity, passion, kindness, comfort, support, honesty, and a desire to build something together based solely on the merits of my actions; reward me with your own sincerity. Don’t run if I treat you right… Don’t walk away from the possibility that forever could potentially be right here with me… I’m not afraid. I dream about it all the time…

SJ In Chink’s defense, she said she wasn’t sending the hate mail. Sounds like she’s using caution by NOT responding to anything right now, in fear that she might say or do the wrong thing. So cut her some slack. She’s venting to us, not acting on what she’s venting. Just talking to us….. WE GOT YOUR BACK GIRL!!!! Like I said, JUST HOLD YOUR POSITION. STAND STILL and DON’T RE-act.

No offense intended Chink, but it sounds like you aren’t very compassionate about dude’s ailing mother and the effect that has on him, you want to punish dude for behavior you don’t like, and are experiencing significant rage on account of that. Sounds familiar to me — I dumped her azz due to repeated similar behavior. I cite it as a mental condition, ‘narcissistic rage’.

Hey Diva, would you believe I actually dimissed some “accidental bumps” for her being on the clumsy side. Of course I missed the point and just simply excused her awkardness. I guess the clumsy was actually on my part. I’m not that good with noticing the signs either. You pretty much have to hit me staight on……caveman clubs usually work!LOL!!
@abc I’m the same way about the gym. I’m serious about my workouts. I notice, but trying to holla will set my workout back. The gym can be as competitive as the club when comes to the “meet-market”. No hottie in the gym will go unnoticed, or unapproached. All the employees and muscle-heads hop on the hotties strong and quick. All of that socializing and holding up equipment gets in the way of my workout. I try to avoid the gym social days (Mon. & Tus).

Chink, I think it will work out fine, I just personally take friendships very, seriously. Especially if it is with a man that I may have feelings for. I don’t usually invest time in janky people, so I know they have good hearts, and I allow them a little margin of error. At the same time. ..I also hold firm to “teaching people how to treat you”…so it sounds like it comes down to picking the right time, and choosing your battles -and to pull from yesterday’s topic..if he was observing your “contents under pressure” behavior, it could say a lot about how you two resolve conflict.

@By Say What It’s not the women spending money on the dude, it’s the jesture in general terms.
It happens so rarely, that it is a breath of fresh air when it does happens! Men are expected to treat and wine and dine, but many females often take that for granted and don’t return the same favors.
The truth is that dudes have many of the same likes and dislikes as women ( i.e. the attention to detail, thoughtfulness and the listening factor), so when someone female goes over and beyond the call of duty, in most cases, we take notice.

@chink I was lurking, but dayummm. Call dude and apologize for being inconsiderate about what he’s going through, even if he was actin like he got it caught in the zipper. Be the adult and step outside yourself for a second, if he still trips then back off. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT YOU CARE! Try the Humble Pie, he will win the “stare down” because he has a real serious problem to help him stay upset!

OMG Musing No not that song (12:57). I have freakin tears in my eyes right now, literally. I can’t believe it. LOL WOW. The first time the man and I had an intense heated argument while dating I told him to get the (bleep) out of my house and out of my life. I used the “F” word right there in front of my kids. The next morning which was a Saturday I flew with my kids and my oldest brother and his family down to Florida for a week. I did everything in my power not to think about Mason. When I returned home he had left a message on my answering machine singing that very song (he has a beautiful singing voice). I just sat there on my bed and cried (Man I know y’all can’t feel what I am feeling right now but this is deep). My son came in and asked what was wrong and I just said nothing sweetie, go finish unpacking your things. He wouldn’t understand even if I told him. We soon reconciled and things were back on track :-)
I don’t think I remembering having heard that song since that day. Man you got me weeping over here with a hankering to call my husband (sniff). LOL WOW!

You can’t ‘train him how to treat you’. You can try, chicks usually do that through punishment of one kind or another, but if they don’t treat you right, you can’t change that. Also, staying angry for 24 hours is a sign of something amiss that has nothing to do with him.

I figure if it is meant to be, I will see that person again and the foundation will already be laid!
You know you my dawg right?!
Chink Sounds like there’s been an exchange of POWER. But you couldn’t handle the responsibility that came with it. You changed into your Ms. Bigg Badd suit, got your chest all aired up, and got the big head. Returning a call with a firm, yet understanding attitude would’ve greatly increased your stock price.
True power is NOT wielding your sword, even though you can.

Good Afternoon Everyone
@Chink If dude can’t think straight and you’re too emotional…a conversation won’t be beneficial. When I’m in my mood that everything out of my SO’s mouth is BS then I walk away from the situation because I know that I’m not thinking straight and I am not able to think past my emotions. It boils down to if 2 people value the friendship/relationship they will find a way to resolve the issue…one will accept the wrong just to make “it” right. There are multiple times in a relationship when you’ll be like that’s some BS, but whatever because you just want to move pass the dispute….especially if you can see the bigger picture…the relationship. Now, void everything I’m saying if what you feel is the ULTIMATE Betrayal…if not, just show some forgiveness….and seek a common ground.

Here’s a song for the break up…John Mayer again..
SLOW DANCING IN A BURNING ROOM
It’s not a silly little moment It’s not the storm before the calm This is the deep and dying breath Of this love that we’ve been working on Can’t seem to hold you like I want to So I can feel you in my arms Nobody’s gonna come and save you We pulled too many false alarms
We’re going down And you can see it, too We’re going down And you know that we’re doomed My dear, we’re slow dancing in a burning room
I was the one you always dreamed of You were the one I tried to draw How dare you say it’s nothing to me? Baby, you’re the only light I ever saw I’ll make the most of all the sadness You’ll be a bytch because you can You’ll try to hit me just to hurt me So you leave me feeling dirty Cause you can’t understand
We’re going down And you can see it, too We’re going down And you know that we’re doomed My dear, we’re slow dancing in a burning room
Go cry about it, why don’t you? My dear, we’re slow dancing in a burning room Don’t you think we oughta know by now? Don’t you think we should have learned some how?

And just like last year we will be stuck in the cabin guest room that has extremely uncomfortable twins beds while the other get a nice king size bed. We will enjoy a day of hiking, which I will be sure to do, because if not I will stuck at the cabin with his mother which we all know is just the dearest person in the world. If I refuse to go I come off as the snobbish biotch in the eyes of his family because this is their family tradition. It will be soooo much fun.

It’s stuff like this that I call BS on. I love the brother and wife like they were my own blood, but dang they are going to have a 2 year old sleeping between them. Take the darn twin beds. And the mom and pop probably haven’t did the do since 1982, put their old behinds in there. It ain’t even about the do, while it is a little because I know my husband, but it’s about making a common freakin sense call. And those darn beds are uncomfortable.
I got me some reading material that I hopefully get to glance at. Last year we all tried to sit and watch a movie (quality family time) and his parents talked through the entire movie. Asking what’s gone happen and speculating about what’s about to happen.

Oooh Diva - what time? I might have to try to swing through there. Hmmm, G. Garvin - Falcons - G. Garvin - Falcons. If he’s going to be there during the time when the players come talk to us and sign autographs, I might not make it. But if its later - I’ll skip out on the football drills to see G.
Who am I kidding? I was planning to skip out on the drills anyway - don’t want to mess up my ‘do before OSS.

I don’t have my virtual boxing gloves on today LL, I will let you have that one, hmm but if I were feeling “jazzy in the mouth today, I would just tell you that some days you really make me wanna thump you, LOL
You will pontificate ad nauseum, and God help the individual who tries to make any kind of counterpoint when you’re on one of your rolls. There’s just no room for dialogue in your one-man show. You always want the last word and to be right!
I was ONLY trying to say that wealth and looks is not who a man is, yea that definitely draws all kind of women to him - just like a woman’s facial beauty, cup size, and ass-to-waist ratio will have guys breaking their necks to please her. So really, that doesn’t mean women can’t appreciate a regular man serenading her out the clear blue…im just sayin!
ok maybe I do have one of my virtual boxing gloves on.

Longtime Lurker is just mad that no one wanted him until he got some money. So I guess he figures that all women apply that theory to all men.
Little does he know, its the money that makes women put up with his arrogant rantings. If he had any sort of personality before he got the dollas, he would have had a good woman in his broke days too.

LOL @ T Zigga!
Thick noooooooo, girl LL couldn’t handle my jazzy mouth, LOL. I will forgive you for that don’t let it happen no mo
but I swear he is the exact type of guy I spent my entire 20s stressing over..the successful, confident man, with the Que swagger, stubborn as an OX and always flexing his manhood. I don’t think the 34 yr old would mesh well with that type anymore (I’m convinced of that yup)
